 Queensland Vaccination Mandates Relaxed

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced that from 1am on June 30, COVID-19 vaccinations would no longer be required for visitors to residential aged care, disability accommodation or prisons.

Chief Health Officer John Gerrard will also revoke the high-risk worker COVID-19 vaccine mandate in schools, early childhood education, outside school care, kindergartens, family day care, police watch houses, youth detention centres and airports.

But wait, do not vaccine 'mandates' violate the Nuremberg code:

"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion"

How on earth were 'mandates' ever allowed in the first place, especially mandates of a 'vaccine' which doesn't actually vaccinate anybody?

Aboriginal Flagpole

You could buy 50 one bedroom apartments for that, practically create a whole department of housing.

But I am very happy to discover there is no problem with indigenous homelessness in NSW. I would have imagined there was at least a small problem.


Prime Minister Albanese speaks up on the Julian Assange issue

“I have made clear on what my position is publicly. I made it clear last year,” Mr Albanese said.

“I stand by my comments that I made then.

“I make this point as well, there are some people who think that if you put things in capital letters on Twitter and put an exclamation mark that somehow makes it more important. It doesn’t.

“I intend to lead a government that engages diplomatically and appropriately with our partners.”

After this public and clear statement by the Prime Minister many of us were firmly convinced that we had no idea whether Albanese was working for Assange's release or not.

The President of Mexico helpfully chimed in with some additional remarks:

Mexico's President says he will ask US President Joe Biden to address WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's case when the two men meet in July.

Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador raised Mr Assange's case at a regular news conference on Tuesday, saying his country would open its doors to the Australian if he was released.

"I'm going to ask President Biden to address this issue … humanism must prevail," Mr Lopez Obrador said.

"He is the best journalist of our time in the world and has been very unfairly treated, worse than a criminal," he said.

"This is an embarrassment to the world."

Comment on Gun Debate

Perhaps we need to re-frame the debate. The guns that do the damage (massacres) are military, rapid repeat-fire weapons. Citizens, whether under the 2A or any other sensible gun law, could be allowed to have traditional, single shot rifles, or single or double barrelled shotguns, perhaps single-action revolvers, for legitimate purposes such as hunting, pest and stock control, sporting and target shooting. But all automatic, semi-automatic, lever action, bolt action or pump action or repeater weapons could be classified as military and made unavailable to the public. Do the public get mortars and howitzers under the 2A as well?

Russia is bombarding Ukrainian positions with 50,000 shells a day

Ukraine is suffering 100-200 killed in action per day.

Time for a little basic math. How long can they last?

This isnt a war, its a massacre.  The best thing is an immediate ceasefire and peace/ surrender negotiations.

Larry Johnson gives an overview of the origins and progress of the Ukraine war: It is notable that non-MSM commentators from both Russia and America have a broadly similar evaluation of the war, cf Johnson, Scott Ritter, the Saker, Martyanov, Douglas McGregor.
